Will rates be lower with a municipal utility?


There’s no guarantee rates will be lower with a municipal utility. In fact, because municipal utilities are not subject to Iowa Utilities Commission oversight, they can adjust rates with limited notification and oversight. In contrast, investor-owned utilities, like Alliant Energy, must go through a stringent approval process for rate changes.
